20 ton hydraulic press

[Wobba]

Just bought a 20t hydraulic press for the Willy and BMW's bearings and bushes. Leighanne is going to keep it at hers in the garage with her Williamses, she has more room than me. It made sense to get a press as it is costing me £50 a time per side to do bearings, plus I wanted to do the wishbones too and the BMW's steering and suspension with powerflex, and you need a press really.

If any of you need help with pressing shit out and you are near us, drop me a PM. I am in Locks Heath, near Fareham/Southampton in Hampshire.

I reckon they charged him £50 so he wouldn't come back but their plan obviously backfired a bit

That's two separate garages. Both £50 and I provide the bearing.

It's not just the money though, it's the convenience of having it there to use whenever.

Tbh if I had 1 I'd be using it on stuff it's not meant to be used on just for the challenge/shits & giggles

Still mega steep that is though, most I've ever paid to get a bearing pressed in is a tenner

Yea I think I will be doing just that Paddy haha!! Pressing random shit :D

yea, I had read all over the WC forums about everyone getting their bearings etc cheap, they are NEVER cheap for me :( So it made sense to get a press! This way I can sort the wishbones that I want to polybush, and my M5's bushes too, and other cars too.

It arrived today at work. The courier was keen to get help, and it was bloody heavy!
